#### 18.13.3 Compiling in a different language

To compile HTML Help in a language for a locale other than your current Windows locale, download free command-line utility SBAppLocale from SteelBytes:

http://www.steelbytes.com/?mid=45

SBAppLocale allows you to run another executable as if you are using a different Windows locale. For example, to compile Japanese HTML Help, you would specify:

    SBAppLocale 1041 path\to\hhc.exe MyProj.hhp

The number 1041 is the decimal code for Japanese. To see a list of all the locales, run SBApplocale with no parameters. This utility is a must-have for languages that do not use code page 1252. For Korean and Simplified Chinese output, index entries might be corrupted. In that case you would need to compile on a machine with the correct locale specified.
